Jones' babysitting club and ONE bump shot!

A few nights ago, Greg and I got to babysit sweet James Thomas at our house while the Garrett's and family went to dinner. It was so fun and James Thomas was very well behaved. I realized that newborns can be a little boring :) (at least when I am not the one getting up all night and feeding all day!) He slept like an angel most of the time and had to have one diaper change..which was a preview of our life in just a few short weeks. Greg had run to the grocery store when I realized by the mild stink that James Thomas needed a fresh diaper. I have changed lots of diapers...but never on a TINY, squirmy newborn. So I called Greg and told him to get home to help! Of course he comes right in and takes over and 'ta-da' has a clean diaper on him in 2 seconds! Gosh I hope I am a good mommy!


so sweet!

notice a very curious pup

Jesse came and layed his head on James Thomas' feet...jealous maybe?? (excuse this very awkward position I am in...there were tons of pillows behind me but I didn't want Jesse to move so we could get a picture!)


Last night we also got to babysit the Cole girls. Julie and Matt had a one on one date with Jacob! Hannah is 2 and Elizabeth is just about 12 weeks. (right Julie?) I now have a glimpse into what it is like to have a toddler and a baby. A BIG ENERGY EXPENDITURE! With all the activity, I forgot to take a single picture from the evening! Here is a small breakdown from the night. Chocolate chip cookie and Dora for Hannah while Greg and Kelsey had dinner, then we all attempted to go on a walk with 2 strollers, 2 babies, and a cute poodle until Elizabeth became a little fussy-it was dinner time for her. Greg stayed back at the house and fed her while Kelsey and I took Jesse and Hannah on a walk. Once we got home, I took Hannah and Elizabeth across the street to say 'hi' to the Garretts. Then it was home to wait on mommy and daddy! We had a great evening with 2 adorable little girls! Next time I will be sure to snap some pics!


ok, here is a bump pic...almost 30 weeks, I think 29.5...it was taken a few days ago right out of bed (hints the hair and sleepy face!) my belly looks bigger at night...A LOT bigger. I will try to do a morning/night pic this week!
